silence feedback and screen update

Post by spid » Tue Jun 21, 2005 5:08 pm

I have a macro running that beeps every several seconds (and it has hours to go). Can someone tell me what the commands are to silence the 'beep' of dialog boxes being closed, and the command to turn off screen updating. I searched online help to no avail.

Thanks,

Rob

Re sound, see recent discussions at http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2022

Depending on what you are doing, you can frequently stop screen refresh by running windows hidden/minimized: Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0/2.

Danger is that someone will start using the system while the macro is running. Depending on specific tasks, that might be OK, or it may cause unexpected problems.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
